Cosmetic Surgery: Making Over The Daily Mail
“COSMETIC cowboys could cost you your life, women warned,” announces the Mail.
Men called Billy-Bob dressed in chaps and surgical masks are using “irresponsible adverts to seduce them [women] into having operations”.
Many procedures advertised - such as lunchtime facelifts and discount five-in-one operations - are at best ineffective and at worst dangerous, the experts say.
Are you getting your five in a day?
Speaking at the BAAPS annual conference, Mr McGeorge, a consultant plastic surgeon, said: “We are very concerned about the quality of adverts in some women’s magazines… Many of these adverts have been touched up and are encouraging false expectations of cosmetic surgery.”
For shame.
The Mail would never resort to photo trickery to make a point, would it?

With the pace of technological progress, we’ll soon be able to do away with cosmetic surgery altogether. We’ll be able to hack into each other’s eyes to deliver a tailored image into their experience of us. Bigger breasts? Turn a dial or move a slider in your own brain-based Photoshop. Better looking? Apply a gaussian blur to the object of your interst’s perception of your face. It will be like Second Life’s first-life cousin as augmented reality becomes the norm.
I’m having five legs and a Groucho Marx face when it happens; but I’m odd. Also, tentacles for a beard on alternate Wednesdays.

I’m trying to decide whether it’s the chaps or the surgery that’s dangerous…
